I am an archaeologist and historian specializing in the history of archaeology and gender archaeology. I have a broad international experience having worked and researched in research institutes, universities, and museums in Germany, Spain, Hungary, and Romania, and participated in scientific events and projects in eight more European countries.
I am currently a collaborator of the German Archaeological Institute’s Research Cluster 5: History of Archaeology, and an active member of international scientific bodies such as the EAA, AGE, ESHS, and UISPP, some of which I served as co-chair and secretary.
My most recent publications include the acclaimed volume ‘Gender stereotypes in archaeology: A short reflection in image and text’ (Sidestone Press, Leiden, 2021) and the edited book ‘Interdisciplinarity and archaeology: Scientific interactions in nineteenth- and twentieth-century archaeology’ (Oxbow Books, Oxford, 2021).

What I’m up to

Interdisciplinarity and Archaeology:
Scientific Interactions in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Archaeology

This book explores the history of interdisciplinary relationships between archaeology and other branches of knowledge in Europe and elsewhere. This is a largely untold history that needs to be unpacked. This book brings to light some of the events leading towards interdisciplinary relations in archaeology from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. It encompasses ten scholarly contributions that offer a critical overview of this complex, dynamic and long-lasting transformative process. This is a pioneering project in the field of the history of archaeology, as it is the first to examine the inclusion into archaeological practice of various disciplines categorized under the umbrella of hard, natural and social sciences, as well as the humanities.
